A Rare Visit
My response to dVerse poetry Pub Poetics: Listen to the Mockingbird Silvery light slipped through the blind Scratching at the edges of her mind A faded monochrome Distant dream of home In the garden a thrush trilled its morning song Another bird began to sing along A different timbre and yet the same She sat […]
Who Knows Where?
My response to HBHATNAGAR Two Phrase Story #28 Hbhatnagar provides the first phrase and you complete the sentence and we see in how many different directions one thought can be taken. Today’s phrase: ‘A gentle zephyr blew…’ My attempt ‘…pollen of a thousand sunflowers across the landscape, to bloom who knows where.’ Image found on www.deviantart.com Your […]
Vain Warbler
No I am not procrastinating! I worked for several hours on the revision of the Prologue and Chapter One of Joe and Nelly and have rewarded myself with a shadorma in response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge #101.

My response to dVerse Poets Pub Quadrille 3 – a quadrille in 44 words Congealed crud has set on last night’s dishes And yet, as the steaming water gushes Detergent swirls with a globule of grease Until a lava of foam is released One tiny bubble escapes and floats free A tiny transparent orb, fleeting […]

Sinister Spring Heralds
My response to the Tercet challenge with Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie B&P’s Shadorma and Beyond Jackdaws sailed in on a brisk breeze Descending on bare branches of tall trees (Paused in black parentheses) Jackdaws flocked in drizzly weather Yapping and flapping off together (Sharp of beak and ragged of feather) Jackdaw lovebirds entwined and […]
